BARMAN/NIGHT

Belly of the Bison is one of Whitehorse’s premier dining rooms – elevated northern cuisine, elegant comfort food, and a serious focus on wine and cocktails in a warm, modern space. As a Bartender, you are at the centre of that experience, crafting drinks that match the food, setting the tone at the bar, and helping guests feel they’ve chosen the right place for their night out.
